Glad the rack is working out well! 
As for the meds, the particular strand of bacteria we had was called Sudimonis (sp?) and Fortraz was not something that would knock it out. Fortraz is pretty antiquated compared to some of the new medications as far as the range of bacterial it can kill. Amikacin was but it is very hard on kidneys. I supplement lactated ringer injections even with Baytril but you have to do it 3-fold with Amikacin or you'll toast they're little kidneys. I'm not sure what the circumstances were at the time that led us to using Baytril over Amikacin, whatever it was, it was on the vet's suggestion and overall, Baytril is what I've been prescribed. I'm not familiar with the other one you mentioned but you better believe I'm going to write it down and inquire about it the next time!
Thanks and take care,
